    Park it in your front yard lol. I pay a place $40 a month to park in a secure area for when I'm on hometime.

    We deliver to Sam's DC off Toledo road in brownstown. There is a warehouse just north of there with an empty lot that could be used to park I believe, at least one driver from another company does that and leaves his car there.

    Well the first year in the books after coming back to Poly from a short break. Didn't hit 160,000 miles for the year but pretty #### close. Had a couple of unneeded resets in the last 3 weeks but oh well that happens from time to time. Delivering in Houston on Monday morning and then hopefully getting a load back to Vegas as I need to move out of my house before the end of the month along with some other business to take care of. Probably going to have to take the remainder of the month off and hit it again in July. Will probably be my last post here as my goal was to see what was possible at Poly if you busted ###. At the current pace I could likely come close to $100,000 this year but I plan on taking more time off the remainder of the year.

    Well unfortunately starting on the elog ######## when I leave out on Monday. Going to try and make the best out of it but really, really not looking forward to dealing with the crap. Looks like I am set to continue with my same old maxxforce rig which is fine by me. Hasn't let me stranded yet, just the regular stuff that wears out has been replaced. Nice that the PM's have been pushed out to 20k.
     
    28 Thanks this.
